I think folks who don't like emptying the porta potties haven't found the right chemicals or else the right amount. Water is important, too. If you just add the chemical and not a good 2 cups of water you'll be overcome by the chemical smell. We've used a Thetford for lots of decades. True...

regis, sounds like a good camp kitchen. TODAY I ALMOST CRIED. I unboxed my 6.7 CU FT 3-Way Dometic Fridge/Freezer. It is awesome! And so much room but small! It's beautiful! I have decided to paint my kitchen counter copper and I painted the two silver colored aluminum beams in the front...

We are almost done insulating the cargo trailer. I have about 5 rolls of aluminum tape making sure every tiny spot an insect can get in through doesn't exist. Of course leaving the RAMP DOOR open might undo that ....

If you are putting your battery inside go with AGM. It is sealed and does not gas. Just because others "do it" doesn't make it safe, which is why we do our own research and why your research lead to the AGM choice because you were putting yours inside. I'm still researching this same thing...

Looks like it's in great shape from the outside. Congrats and good move on changing the tires. One thing, it's a 1978 and plastics have changed a lot. I'd suggest getting a new FDA water tank and some new hoses for them. Have fun on the road!

Is that two fridges stacked on top of each other or one big one?

Was gone a bit and glad to see the kitchen pixs! High Desert - is this an event or just your regular camp setup? My on demand Triton 5L came today but I'm sending it back. The shower head does not have an on off switch on it and I find the shower head uncomfortable to hold as well. I know I...

As an older Dodge owner who moved from low elevation Los Angeles to high elevation Denver know that the carburator needs adjusting between such differrences. Just in case that 70 miles you traveled was up a very high mountain.

Welcome Jerry! Well, we have 312 days so you are ahead of us!

A thought for us about to do this same project. Glad this came up! I'll use the suggestions here to run alongside. My contribution tip: Aluminum or duct tape would hold the plastic tubing in place along the rib until the ceiling takes over the job.

Hi Pam. Just watch a variety of Y-T vids and you'll get it n no time. When you're read to buy check on the forum and ask for recommendations or read some that are probably already posted.

Please forgive this post if it's too new agey for your senses. As a senior among you many of the thoughts said here filter into my mind periodically so no whiplashes for others having the same. That said, for me who is still in rental awaiting the magic take off day, I try to focus on the...

Bob 91 - that's so close to what we are doing! That's how we are making it lighter - less wood as we are not turning it into a "house" but more of a cabin without all thick beautiful wood and camping stuff instead. I need the ramp as it is so much better than the step and sometimes I use a...

Thanks, this group can relate. It's really nice that in today's environment many can find ways to work on the road and do this early. With the jobs I had that wouldn't have worked support ways. The internet has changed a lot. The net part was good for me, I made some good money because of it...

Finally the right vehicle is ours for this adventure planned for decades.  We've had 2 class B's, an Aframe, a small Winnebago MH, a trailer and the back of a pickup.  Less than a year to take off - after 50 years of wanting to do this and 10 years of downsizing I feel like it isn't real.  It...

Thanks all. I was wrong about the no golf cart battery note in my notes. Thanks then John for the brands. The hardest part of the build was first figuring out the insulation, what and how. The second most difficult was determining how to fit my cot/beds in while still having the battery bank...

We could not be happier with our choice to design our own. There is no way anyone would have insulated like we did. And everything is built around what we want to carry. I'm still taping up the insulation seams and we have a few more panels to do but the wall boards should be going back up by...

Thanks John & HDS I want to alert cargo trailer folks to areas to look at and fix. Reflectix does have R value and it varies depending upon where and how it is used. When you buy a roll the diagrams and R values are posted with photos of how it's used to achieve the various values. I did...

Use sun shades on your windows. WalMart carries a battery operated fan called O2Cool or check truck stops for cig lighter ones. Get a spray bottle and fill it with water and keep it by you. It is surprising how misting yourself helps cool. Consider both pepper spray and bear spray and carry...

So, we brought the cargo trailer home late April.  We should be finished with the insulation and flooring next week.   I doubt that anyone has gotten as crazy about the insulation project as I have but there are reasons to my madness.  After pulling down all the wall boards I discovered a small...
